The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing back the highly anticipated Kelly green throwback jerseys, continuing the excitement from last year's successful debut.
The jerseys replicate those worn during the days of Randall Cunningham from 1985 to 1995, paying homage to a golden era in Eagles history.
The Eagles debuted the uniform on October 22 when they hosted the Miami Dolphins on Sunday Night Football. The Kelly green threads made a return in Week 12 when the Eagles welcomed the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 26.
Fans had eagerly awaited the return of these throwbacks, last seen on the field in 2010. Now, they can get their hands on jerseys bearing the names of current stars like Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, and Brandon Graham.
“We are thrilled to bring back the Kelly green uniform and helmet this season, and are equally excited to celebrate our team’s history with Eagles fans everywhere,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman & CEO.
Continuing from this successful reintroduction in 2023, the Eagles announced on Friday which games will feature the iconic Kelly Green uniforms for the 2024 season.
The beloved uniforms will make their return in Week 9 (Nov. 3) on Sunday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars and again in Week 17 (Dec. 29) against NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys.
With the NFL approving a rule for teams to add a third alternate helmet this season, the choice to bring back the Kelly Greens for a second straight year was an easy one for the team. This decision follows the tremendous support the uniforms received after their debut in 2023.
The Eagles went a perfect 2-0 while donning the early '90s throwbacks last year, defeating the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 and the Buffalo Bills in an overtime thriller in Week 12.
The Sunday Night Football matchup against Jacksonville will mark the second time in a row the Eagles unveil the alternate look in primetime.
The Kelly Green jerseys will remain in collaboration with Nike, paying homage to the storied past of the franchise and remembering historic moments while invoking new memories among the fanbase.
